Ravaged Wolves lose Pekovic for 7-10 days
Nikola Pekovic - C - Minnesota Timberwolves
Jan. 18, 2013 - 2:10 PM ET
Nikola Pekovic will be out for 7-10 days with a quad injury.
The Timberwolves have been granted an injury exception to sign a free agent to a 10-day contract, and Pekovic is just the latest injury on a team filled with them. The Wolves current injury list consists of: Kevin Love (hand), Alexey Shved (ankle), Malcolm Lee (hip surgery, knee surgery), Brandon Roy (knee surgery), Chase Budinger (knee surgery) and now Pekovic with his quad injury, not to mention Josh Howard who tore his ACL earlier in the year and was released. Greg Stiemsma will be thrust into a starting role unless the Wolves go with an ultra-small lineup.
